Pellagra: An American Problem is a historical account of the disease pellagra, written by George McCullum Niles in 1912. The book provides a detailed description of the symptoms, causes, and treatment of pellagra, which was a widespread epidemic in the southern United States during the early 20th century. Niles explores the social, economic, and cultural factors that contributed to the spread of the disease, including poverty, malnutrition, and inadequate healthcare. He also examines the efforts of medical professionals and public health officials to combat the epidemic, including the establishment of pellagra hospitals and the promotion of better nutrition and sanitation practices. The book includes case studies, statistical data, and historical accounts of the impact of pellagra on individuals and communities. Pellagra: An American Problem is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of public health, medical anthropology, and the social determinants of health.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
